The Wichita Area Builders Association Remodelers™ Council is here to serve you.
Originally formed to further the professionalism of those engaged in the
remodeling industry, the Council and its members have become recognized as
leaders in the remodeling industry in Kansas.
The goal of every Remodelers™ Council member is to provide you with the type
and quality of service you have a right to expect. Council members, attend regular
monthly meetings, educational seminars, and keep abreast of “what’s new” in the industry whether it’s products, services, or new construction techniques.

Remodeling Tips
from the Remodeling Professionals
■ WHEN SHOULD I CONSULT OR CHOOSE
A REMODELER?
When you find that your house no longer fits your needs but you don’t want to
move, consult a Wichita Area Builders Association (WABA) Remodeler member
to develop a “game plan” to remodel your house to meet those needs. Plans
for adjustments drawn up at this time can be completed in various small stages
as you live in the house and as your budget can meet the expenses. If the
adjustments are all part of a flexible game plan, they will blend into a unified
whole; if they are done hodgepodge, they will look that way.

■ HOW TO FIND A PROFESSIONAL REMODELER
If you own a home, no matter what its age, sooner or later you may join the
millions of people who remodel their homes each year. The reasons for
remodeling are as varied as the projects themselves. Generally people
choose remodeling to add comfort, convenience, space, and ultimately to
enhance their investment in what may be their most valuable asset. If you
are considering a remodeling project, this brochure will tell you how to find
a professional remodeler among the many contractors who seek your
business. Your home is too important to entrust to anyone but a
professional WABA Remodeler who can:
• Save you money by doing your job right the first time.
• Ensure that your dreams are accurately translated into reality by offering
design services in-house or through an arrangement with a professional
architect or designer.
• Understand that your comfort during the project and its successful
completion depend on effective communication and follow-through.
• Maintain a safe and reasonable neat job site to prevent damage to your
home or injury to household members and pets.
• Respond promptly to service calls and inquiries.
■ BEFORE YOU MEET WITH A REMODELER
Develop an idea of what you want to do. Write a prioritized list of your
needs and wants. Look at magazines and collect pictures of what you like
(the more clearly you can envision the project and describe it on paper, the
30
more likely you are to convey a clear image of your project to a professional
remodeler.)
Think about traffic patterns, furniture placement, colors, lighting, and how
much you want to use the remodeled space.
Figure out how much money you have to spend on the remodeling job, the
furnishings, and the landscaping (if any). If necessary, talk to lenders and find out
how much you can borrow.
■ BEGIN THE SEARCH
Seek information from:
• Wichita Area Builders Association (265-4226)
• Friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and others who have had
remodeling work done.
• Independent trade contractors, building materials suppliers, architects,
engineers, home inspectors, and local lenders.
• Check with your local or state office of consumer protection and the local
Better Business Bureau (if the member you are considering is a member).
Have they had any complaints about the remodeler? If so, were those
complaints resolved?
• Check with your city/county licensing agency to see if they have received
any complaints about the remodeler and to verify that the remodeler has
the appropriate license(s).
■ WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND WHAT TO ASK?
When you hire a remodeler, you are buying a service rather than a
product. The quality of the service the remodeler provides will determine the
quality of the finished project and your satisfaction with it. Listed below are
some qualifications you will want to explore and questions you will want to ask
when you interview a remodeler.
Does the remodeler:
• Maintain a permanent mailing address, a phone number, and a pager or
answering system? (You will want to be able to reach the remodeler
quickly and easily-especially at critical times.)
• Carry insurance that protects you from claims arising from property damage
or job site injuries? Be sure and ask for a copy of the remodelers insurance
certificates so you can be sure you will not be liable in these situations for
property damage or job site-related injuries. Ask the remodeler how much the
project will add to your home’s value and obtain the necessary additional
insurance.
• Have an established presence in the community? How long has the company
been in business? (Longevity suggests financial stability.) Does the remodeler

maintain solid relationships with experienced independent trade contractors
(such as plumbers and electricians) and work with them as a team to keep
your job running smoothly?
Possess a trustworthy reputation among customers, peers, and people
involved in all aspects of the industry? Ask for a list of building materials
suppliers and call them to see if the remodeler has an account or pays for
materials on delivery (Most suppliers are willing to extend credit to financially
sound companies.)
Actively participate in a trade organization such as the Remodelers Council of
the Wichita Area Builders Association as well as the National Association of
Home Builders and how long has the remodeler been a member? These
organizations help to keep their members informed about new products,
construction techniques, business practices, and industry issues.
Participation demonstrates a remodeler’s commitment to professionalism
and the remodeling industry.
Have a working knowledge of the many types and ages of homes in the
area? (Knowing what is likely to be behind a wall or under a floor helps the
remodeler to provide reliable estimates. An extremely low bid may indicate
lack of experience and an inability to later cover the actual costs involved in
the job.) Ask what products and materials would the remodeler be likely to
use for your project. Does the remodeler offer an array of options and thus
demonstrate knowledge of and experience with a variety of products,
materials, and techniques?
Specialize in particular types of projects?
Arrange for the building permit? (The person who obtains the permit is the
contractor of record and therefore liable for the work.)
Offer a warranty? If so, what kind and for how long? What is covered under
the warranty and what is not?
Agree to begin and complete your job within your timetable?
Respond promptly to your inquiries?
Emphasize service and developing a trusting relationship with you?
Listen to and understand your needs and wants and work with you to ensure
that the plans accurately reflect your expectations? When you discuss your
written priorities, does the remodeler show enthusiasm for your ideas and
suggests ways to make them work within your budget? Ask the
remodeler for examples of how the company has solved similar space
problems for other customers.
Facilitate communication among all parties involved in the project? Will the
remodeler provide you with schedule updates so you can make appropriate
decisions and prepare for any unavoidable inconveniences? Ask how the
company handles communications during the construction phase of the job
(such as a message center in the house for communication between you and
the remodeling team-including the independent trade contractors).
32
■ CONTACT PREVIOUS OR PRESENT CUSTOMERS
Ask the remodeler to share names and phone numbers of some
customers with you and take the time to see the remodelers work.
Ask to see jobs similar to yours. Does the quality of the work meet your
expectations?
Determine if the other customers of the remodeler:
• Would you hire this company again?
• Did the remodeler maintain a reasonably neat job site, provide regular broom
clean-up, and haul away debris including personal trash such as lunch sacks
• Did the remodeler keep labor and material delays to a minimum so that your
job could be started and completed on time and within budget?
• Was the remodeler easy to talk to and did the remodeler keep the customer
informed as the job progressed?
■ MAKE THE DECISION
Ask yourself if you feel comfortable with the remodeler and
confident that this company will do the work according to your plans,
budget, and specifications.
• If you are satisfied with the answers to your questions, ask for a written
estimate of the work to be done based on a set of plans and specifications.
Be prepared to pay for this package. If the estimated cost of the project is
more than you can afford, see if you can trim something from the project or
postpone part of it so you can still work with a professional remodeler.
• Ask the remodeler to explain the plans and specifications and company
procedures to you. (For instance, how does the company handle changes to
the initial design, choice of materials, or schedule once construction
begins?)
• If you compare your estimate with another, be sure each one is based upon
the same set of plans, specifications, and scope of work. If your remodeler
suggests any deviations, ask the remodeler to present them as options.
• Find out whether the remodeler uses a detailed, written contract that
protects both of you and that complies with local, state, and federal laws.
The contract must spell out the work that will and will not be performed.
• Select the remodeler with a track record of a variety of excellent projects and
plenty of experience with your type of project. Remember, low price alone
does not ensure a successful remodeling experience.

Beware Of Fly-By-Night Contractors
Across the country each year, many people become victims of
tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes or wildfires. These
natural disasters directly impact the U.S. economy for billions of
dollars annually.
One of the untold costs associated with disasters are those loses due
to fraud. Often “fly-by-night” contractors appear and further victimize the
disaster victims by swindling them out of their precious and often limited
resources. Here’s a warning from home builders that may save you from
another disaster: unscrupulous contractors.
Some signs to remember that should make you see red:
• You’re told that on this job, a contract “won’t be necessary.”
• You’re asked to pay for the entire job “up front” – or pay cash to a sales
person instead of a check or money order to a company.
• You are confronted with scare tactics, intimidation or threats.
• You’re told you’ve been “chosen” as a demonstration project at a special,
low price.
• You’re told a “special” low price is good only if you sign a contract today.
• The contractor won’t give you reference – or the references can’t be
located.
• You can’t verify the contractor’s business address.
How Much Can You Expect To Recover
From Your Remodeling Investment?
While there are many reasons homeowners choose to
remodel, the bottom line is that remodeling makes your house
more enjoyable to live in. The intangible value of this added
pleasure must be considered, along with any resale value you hope to gain.
But there is no doubt that as far as improving the sale price of your home, all
remodeling projects are not created equal.
A minor kitchen remodel, such as updating obsolete tiling, can mean the
difference between selling and not selling your home.
A good rule of thumb is that any remodeling project which brings your home
up to the level of the others in your neighborhood is a worthy investment.
For example, if your home has just one bathroom, adding a second bath will
probably more than pay for itself when you sell the home, since the average
home has two and a half baths.
The same is true for a minor kitchen remodel where you add a few amenities
and resurface worn and obsolete tiling, counter tops and cabinets.
34
Not only will projects such as these raise your home’s value, but they may
mean the difference between selling and not selling your home.
Potential buyers will be comparing your home to ones newly built. When
planning a remodeling project, you’ll want to look at the design trends and amenities built into new homes. Master bedroom suites, media rooms and improved
use of natural light are three trends often found in newly built homes.
Be sure to consider, too, the quality of the craftsmanship. During the housing
boom of the last few years, home prices were rising so quickly that even remodeling projects of mediocre quality could raise a home’s value. That’s not the case
now, as the economy has leveled out. Buyers are better informed than ever before, and they are demanding a higher level of quality and professionalism.
By making careful choices of projects and contractors, you will ensure
that the investment of your hard-earned dollars in a remodeling project is
worthwhile.
What’s Aging In Place Anyway?
Name one thing you’ve been doing since you were born. I’ve
got one: getting older! In response to the huge wave of Baby
Boomers preparing for retirement, all sorts of products and
services are popping up catering to the 77 million population
of American over 50.
The reality of getting older becomes quite clear as our
homes suddenly seem full of barriers. This becomes glaringly evident when a
parent comes to live with you. Mom can’t climb the stairs to her bedroom since
she came home from surgery. Dad now has to use a wheelchair since his
stroke and can’t get into the bathroom, or even get over the step-ups at the
entry doors. Sound familiar?
America needs trained remodelers, designers and builders to fix our homes
so we can comfortably “age in place.” The National Association of Home
Builders Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) training program is about
helping you create your “livable home” – whether it is new construction or
retrofitting your existing residence.
CAPS has builders, architects, remodelers, designers, and even occupational therapists buzzing. Far beyond using “universal design” ideas, aging-inplace principles are sweeping changes designed to custom-fit your home to
you and your family. CAPS design takes your current and
future circumstances into consideration and focuses on elegant, aesthetically enriching and barrier-free environments. These are changes that can actually increase the
value of your home, according to some realtors.

■ Aging-in-Place Economics 101
What is ”aging in place” exactly? Aging in place means living in your
home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability
level. It addresses the need to remodel existing homes, and design new
homes, so people do not have to move to assisted living facilities as they age.
Because the vast majority of homes we live in are not well designed for this, a
new movement in residential construction has sprung up to meet this new consumer demand.
The economics of doing aging-in-place modifications are a no-brainer. Relocating to a typical assisted living facility can cost upwards of $40,000 per year,
plus the cost of moving. The cost to widen the bathroom door, add safety bars
and a roll-in shower would typically cost about $5,000 to $6,000, but it’s a onetime expense.
In addition to the economics, consider the psychological impact of being uprooted from your community, familiar rituals, independence and privacy. The affordability of aging-in-place remodeling is enhanced by the fact that medically
necessary changes (such as wider doorways or a roll-in shower) can be deductible on your taxes, if backed up by a letter from your doctor.
■ How Can You Age in Place?
Construction and design professionals are just beginning to take advantage of the CAPS training. This designation, taught through the NAHB,
was created in collaboration with AARP. Research by AARP showed two
clear themes:
• More than 85 percent of Americans want to remain in their homes as
they age
• Americans don’t believe contractors have the proper expertise or
businesses practices to help them do it.
The CAPS program connects responsible professionals with homeowners
who need these services on an ever-increasing basis.
Look for the CAPS credential as a reliable way to identify professionals to
modify your home or build a new one that is designed for a lifespan. CAPS
graduates receive training about the technical/construction aspects and learn
about the unique aspects of working with older Americans. They must also take
formal business training, maintain their credential through continuing education
and subscribe to a Code of Ethics.

■ What Kind of Changes Are We Talking About?
The idea of remodeling your home and considering all the changes
that need to be made can be daunting. Take a deep breath and remember that the most important goal is to create a
safer,
barrier-free home. Typical issues include the following:
• Getting safely and securely in and out of the house
• Better outdoor lighting, like path lighting to the front or rear door
• Attractive ramps or a “zero-step entrance” for the home
• A package shelf by front door
• Adding handrails at existing steps and porches
• Avoiding stairs: one-story ranch designs for new homes and first-floor
bedrooms for two-story homes
■ Changes in the kitchen typically include:
• Lever-handle faucets with pull-out sprayer
• Raised dishwasher to avoid back strain (a good idea for
front-loading washers and dryers, too)
• Rolling island that can be placed back under the counter
• Revolving corner shelves and pull-out shelves
• Lower, side-opening oven
• Pull-out cutting board
• Adjustable height sink
• Side-by side refrigerator with slide-out shelves and a water/ice dispenser
• Cooking range with controls on front
• Larger cabinet, drawer pulls
■ Changes in the bathrooms, the number one place for accidents
in your home, include:
• Installing two to three attractive looking grab bars in shower
• Lever handles on faucets
• Slide-bar-type hand-held shower, for sitting or standing
• Inset shampoo nooks
• Curbless showers – nothing to step over, and can be rolled into if a
wheelchair becomes necessary later
• Tub and shower controls moved closer to entry point
• Anti-scald, temperature and pressure balanced tub shower valves for safer
bathing
• Widening entry doors to at least 32”
• 32”-36” pocket doors
• Higher toilets
37
■ Moving around in the house:
• Improving lighting with recessed fixtures in common areas and hallways
• Lever handles on doors and windows
• Lower light switches and thermostats; raised outlets
• Planning for future elevator installation by stacking closets
• Adding blocking in walls for future chair lift at stairs
• Wider doors that accommodate wheelchairs and walkers
These are just a few examples. Virtually all rooms of your house can be
improved, even closets and garages.
Think Twice Before You Remodel
Embarking on a home project without the needed expertise
can be very expensive and have a negative effect on home
equity.
We all know someone–or maybe it is us–with unfinished projects
throughout the house that our wonderful, not-so-handy spouse decided to
do in an effort to save money.
True story: my neighbor had a tree fall and crack his front porch and then,
because Murphy’s Law lives in my neighborhood, a water main running under
his property broke and the city had to dig it out–leaving a ravine in his front
yard.
Instead of calling a contractor to rebuild his porch and fix the ravine, our
neighbor decided to do the work himself. That was a year ago. Every night
after work, he would come home and work on the project bit by bit. He spent
four weeks trying to pour concrete.
One project is not enough for our neighbor. While he was fixing the porch
and ravine, he also decided to do some siding work on the front of the house
and replace his front door. His wife appreciated the cool fall morning breeze
wafting in through the plastic he had set up where the door once stood for
the two days it took him to finish that project because he was still pouring
concrete. Finally, he finished all projects. The door looks great. The porch
looks great. No one really understands why he put a sidewalk in the middle
of the yard to cover the ravine, but that also looks great. The siding? Well,
because the house is 30 years old just replacing some of the front without
doing it all, doesn’t look so great.
Did my neighbor really save money? That is debatable. While he did not
turn money over to a contractor, he turned over a lot of money to Home
Depot. He spent a year of holiday weekends, vacation days, every weekend,
etc to finish the work. I wonder if he took stock of how much his free time
was worth.
38
This story is not unique. According the U.S. Census Bureau, home owner
do-it-yourself (DIY) projects account for 20 percent of all remodeling done
and industry professionals say that between 25 percent and 30 percent of
their work comes from fixing DIY disasters.
■ Stop! Think about What You’re Doing
What has caused this influx of weekend-warrior DIYers? Some
blame ABC’s Extreme Home Makeover; others the Discovery channel’s
Monster House (you can completely renovate your home into an English pub,
Australian Outback or space station in five days!) and then there is the DIY
network channel that shows how-tos from electrical work to room additions
to fireplace installations all in 30 minutes. The possibilities are endless…
Can you really tear out a wall and install a fireplace with chimney in 30
minutes? The laws of physics, remodeling and Elmer’s glue say “no.”
It wasn’t always like this. Many upscale properties at the turn of the last
century were elegantly equipped with bathroom grab bars. That changed with
the post-World War II housing boom.
Today, many homeowners seeking universal design features in their homes
are looking for larger bathrooms for their renovations or new homes. Popular
design features include separate tubs and showers with tub
surrounds or ledges for clients to sit on when getting into their tubs.
Strategically placed grab bars are making their way back into bathrooms.
Some are disguised as towel bars. Others are decorative. At least one
manufacturer offers them in about 30 colors to match tiles, fixtures and paint.
■ Proper Stairway Lighting Is Important
Because stairway falls are a leading cause of home injuries, proper
stairway lighting is very important. With seniors, lighting is extremely critical.
Most homes are not well lit because home owners were expected to bring in
their own lighting. That’s changing. Architects are adding more recessed
lighting, decorative lighting and more lighting in general.
Contact the Wichita Area Builders Association for a list of architects,
builders and/or remodelers that specialize in universal design.
